What does Heavensward actually bring to the table as an expansion?

[Ryel]

"Exactly the same"? Step for step? Mob for mob? Boss for boss? Mechanic for mechanic?

Really? I mean, really? Come on, you can do better than that. Obviously the 2 most recent dungeons are NOT exactly the same as the last two.

Now you're arguing semantics~

Are they the same in execution? No

Are they the same in function? Yes


They fulfill the same role in the pyramid of content, just like the last set of cap dungeons and the ones before that. They're great for the ride the first 4-5 times but then when it becomes daily routine because of the weekly tome cap they wear pretty quickly. They also don't offer any value on their own merit in the scheme of content and gear acquisition, if not for the tomes they'd be essentially useless for gear drops except maybe vanity (good enough reason for some to be fair).

And yeah the cycle will continue with each addition of new dungeons filling the slot of the 2 dungeons you run over and over again because we love filling Rowena's coffers, just like the current revolving door design of raids and 24 man content.

and this:

Except.. they aren't empty statements, they're valid, legitimate concerns. People AREN'T doing old content anymore, making it essentially "replaced" with the new content. As far as I can tell, you're just ignoring everything he's saying in order to insult him.

Completely correct, i believe there are threads of people posting complaints and pictures of like 2hr+ queue times for CT due to lack of players actually doing the content.
